sorry i missed that. yes the first 200 unit will cost RM43.6

guys, this is not arguing. this is factual discussion on the cost.
before this people (even i) have no actual calculation on how much different induction VS gas. until the other guy posted the DOE link on energy comparison.

even tho it's normalized to india, the numbers inside it is based on fact. normalizing it to malaysian prices is easy once you know the number.

wife have been asking numerous time to go induction.
now i have scientific proof to turn her down. thanks to you guys.

Price of branded induction cooker starts from RM3k and above. Spare part (electronic board) could easily in range of RM600 to RM1000. People say the induction slower to heat because the table top cheap type just over 1000W but the cheap gas stove producing more than 2000W of heat power. Much of stove heat power are wasted to the air heating the kitchen. Not a fair comparison. However, gas is still cheaper to use.

The only thing nice about the induction is that you have flat cooking surface. Easy to clean and look nicer

Try fried rice for 5 people with induction cooker, even the ceramic hot plate will be tough without proper wok.

I have been using induction for over 6yrs. Base on actual of usage compare to gas, induction do cost more for a meal. And it is just a 1800w induction cooker.

Those who use 3KW or 4KW induction..

Understand what you mean. I put in the link to show how much the actual cost and subsidy cost we are paying. Gas is subsidized, but electric too.

I get 'RM231.8 / 500 units = average at RM0.4636 per unit.' from your own calculation, which i presume you get it from the table provided by you which you circle them in red.

I just jump 2 row down to get the RM 452.70 and 1000 units.

Yes, i do know how the TNB tariff works, just i didn't croos check it with the table provided by you.

And your RM 231.80 now become RM 158.50 after your own calculation.

And my colleague induction cooker repair twice, is a reputable brand.

Of course you need that flat bottom type wok for use with induction or hotplate. Sliding around if you cannot hold steady. The gas one wok sit nicely and has "stove assist"

No doubt even with proper wok also tough if you not used to it I can imagine

Don't use arguing, discuss more in depth will be better.
As said, going green are not just mouth talk. You don't produce CO2 at your home, but producing CO2 from other places because of the usage are still the same.
That's why I won't keep on saying safe the environment, because most of the activities we are doing are producing rubbish.

Well said.

Induction not really slow to heat. Instead faster heat than the gas. Boiling water, gas no match the induction.

I already throw 2 set. While exchange 2-3set between warranty.

This will answer those who think induction is cheaper to operate

Induction cooker do have for wok. Seen it before at 1U. I think the brand is pacific something.

I can buy 10 maybe 20 cast iron woks. Cooking just more fun with cast iron wok.

One more point need to consider for those who planned to go for induction. It is nice to have 1 piece of glass with 4 hobs for cooking and look nicer than your normal 4 gas burner hobs but if you have power supply unit PCB faulty then get ready to eat outside for a day or two or even longer if no spare parts

Induction have lots of electronic components. Heat is electronic components #1 enemy, and what do stove generate?

Get 10KVA UPS

Than again, for 4 burners, what is the KWh rating? 3000? or 4000? Wiring setup to handle that load?

Seem like another problem with induction cooker is durability.

The problem consist of button no feeling when press, button spoil after warranty and totally no function.

The most important of using induction is, don't OFF the main after cook. The internal fan will cool down the coil and OFF itself. Than you can OFF the main. Otherwise bye bye your induction.

Induction do have its +ve things. I used to use it frequently too. The portable unit. Fast boiling, and able to set timer. Make porridge for my baby, set timer and no need worry.
